Suspected Fetal Growth Restriction at 37 Weeks: A Comparison of Doppler and Placental Pathology

Table 3

Prevalence of placental pathology: abnormal versus normal Doppler in suspected FGR.

Doppler type	Abnormal Doppler		Normal Doppler		OR (95% CI)	value
	Placental pathology		Placental pathology
	Yes	No	Yes	No
Any	39 (84.8)	7 (15.2)	30 (55.6)	24 (44.4)	4.46 (1.55, 13.22)	0.002
Umbilical	12 (75)	3 (25)	57 (67.1)	28 (32.9)	1.42 (0.38, 5.81)	0.770
MCA	25 (96.2)	1 (3.8)	23 (54.8)	19 (45.2)	20.7 (2.54, 447.1)	<0.001
Uterine	16 (88.9)	2 (11.1)	13 (61.9)	8 (38.1)	4.9 (0.74, 40.90)	0.074

OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, MCA = middle cerebral artery, and FGR = fetal growth restriction.
